John 21:25 “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” Jesus lived on this earth for 30 some years. His life was full of meaningful activity. Are 1% of these activities recorded? None of us really know. What we are absolutely positive of is this: Jesus came to this earth only because of His love for you and me. His Book records His life, death and resurrection. Even though that truth could have been recorded by one author one time, the truths are recorded multiple times by multiple authors with zero contradictions–that is remarkable. What a wonderful Savior we enjoy walking by our side. Thank you, with all our heart, Jesus.

John 21:22 “Jesus answered,’ If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.”‘ Our human nature often accuses others of doing wrong while justifying all our own activities. Jesus warns against that thinking. His advise to each of us is to be careful in our own lives, thoughts and actions. Be sure our own faith is strong and we follow the will of our Heavenly Father and we will have more than enough to keep ourselves busy. Have a unique, devout and close relationship with our Savior and be sure that love relationship never falters.

John :19 “Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him,’ Follow me.'” We sometimes think the life of a Christian should be full of roses. Jesus wants each of us to know that is not the life to expect as you and I represent our God. The world generally does not consider God and His Bible as the source of absolute truth. Man looks to himself as an evolutionary being where truth is determined because of man’s unique ability to dominate. How do you as a Christian prove this mental attitude wrong? You don’t–no need. Time is always the winner and in God’s time all He has told us will be proven true. Serve Him–suffer for Him–live for Him. Your reward is coming–be confident in that truth.

John 21:12b “…None of the disciples dared ask him, ‘who are you?’ They knew it was the Lord.” All of us have been asked the question—-How are you ? All of us have answered—-Fine! The truth is—we can answer that question accurately —–FINE, because of the Lord! Otherwise, fine is not so fine. Never stop answering—-fine, but only because of our wonderful Savior! So, I ask you—how are you?

John 21:6a “He said, ‘Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.”‘ Jesus successfully proved a point for the disciples and you and me. 1. He controls all things–even where fish swim.2. We are to be constantly aware of what we are doing, who we are serving and are we listening to accomplish the purpose God has for each of our lives? 3. Left to our own desires, no matter how thoughtful, educated, experienced and logical–failure will result unless we have our Savior at our side. Aren’t these interesting conclusions gained from a very short time period recorded in His most precious Bible–(Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth). Have a great weekend.
